Obama administration unveils cybersecurity guidelines

The Obama administration on Wednesday released its final version of its "cybersecurity framework," a best practices guide for banking, defense, utilities and other industries to help protect themselves against attacks by hackers.

The framework, which sets voluntary guidelines for critical industries, comes after President Obama signed an executive order last year that called on the Commerce Department to develop the guidelines.

The president issued the executive order only after failing to persuade Congress to pass legislation requiring companies to better defend their networks.
